Bob is erecting a new shed for Farmer Pickles while Wendy paints the farmhouse. After laying the concrete, Bob leaves it to dry, with Dizzy guarding the wet cement.

Trivia
- Despite airing in 2001, this episode was produced in 2000 according to the UK credits.
- According to writer James Henry, he could not depict animals running across slow-setting cement lest impressionable children imitate them, so he had to change it to animals merely threatening to do so instead.[1]
- Some TV guides incorrectly list this episode as airing in October 2000 for the UK.
- According to iTunes, this episode premiered on Nick Jr. in the UK and Ireland in February 2001 before airing on the BBC in October 2001. It was also released months early on VHS in late October 2000.
- The red paint in this episode appears to be cherry red.
- This episode was paired with Roley's Sleepy Friend (Series 4) when it first premiered in North America and Latin America.
